FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION AND QUALIFIED PERSON

2

This presentation contains “forward looking information” which may include, but is not limited to, statements with respect to the future financial or operating performance ofthe Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Dalradian”) and its mineral projects, the future price of metals, the estimation of mineral resources, the realization of mineralresource estimates, the timing and amount of estimated future production, costs of production, capital, operating and exploration expenditures, costs and timing of thedevelopment of new deposits, costs and timing of future exploration, requirements for additional capital, government regulation of mining operations, environmental risks,reclamation expenses, title disputes or claims, limitations of insurance coverage and the timing and possible outcome of pending regulatory matters. Often, but not always,forward looking statements can be identified by the use of words and phrases such as “plans”, “expects”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”,“intends”, “anticipates”, or “believes” or variations (including negative variations) of such words and phrases, or state that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”,“would”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved.

Forward looking statements are based on the opinions and estimates of management as of the date such statements are made and are based on various assumptions such asthe continued political stability in Northern Ireland, that permits required for Dalradian’s operations will be obtained on a timely basis in order to permit Dalradian to proceed onschedule with its planned exploration and development programs, that skilled personnel and contractors will be available as Dalradian’s operations continue to grow, that theprice of gold will be at levels that render Dalradian’s mineral projects economic, that the Company will be able to continue raising the necessary capital to finance its operationsand realize on mineral resource estimates and current mine plans and that the assumptions contained in the Company’s PEA (as defined herein) are accurate and complete.

Forward looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Dalradian tobe materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward looking statements. Such factors include, among others,general business, economic, competitive, political and social uncertainties; the actual results of current and future exploration activities; the actual results of reclamationactivities; conclusions of economic evaluations; changes in project parameters and/or economic assessments as plans continue to be refined; future prices of metals; possiblevariations of mineral grade or recovery rates; the risk that actual costs may exceed estimated costs; failure of plant, equipment or processes to operate as anticipated; accidents,labour disputes and other risks of the mining industry; political instability; delays in obtaining governmental approvals or financing or in the completion of development orconstruction activities, as well as those factors discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2014dated March 24, 2015 (the “AIF”) .

Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward lookingstatements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results to differ from those anticipated, estimated or intended. Forward looking statements containedherein are made as of the date of this presentation and the Company disclaims any obligation to update any forward looking statements, whether as a result of newinformation, future events or results, except as may be required by applicable securities laws. There can be no assurance that forward looking statements will prove to beaccurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forwardlooking statements.

Certain technical data in this presentation was taken from the press release dated May 5, 2016 and titled "Dalradian Announces New Mineral Resource Statement forCurraghinalt, including a 109% Increase in Measured & Indicated Gold Ounces”, prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 under the supervision of Dr. Jean-Francois Couture,PGeo (APGO#0197) and Dr. Oy Leuangthong, PEng (PEO#90563867), both full time employees of SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc. and independent Qualified Persons as defined byNational Instrument 43-101, and is subject to all of the assumptions, qualifications and procedures described therein. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do nothave demonstrated economic viability.

Eric Tremblay, P.Eng., Chief Operating Officer, and Greg Hope, MAIG, Consulting Chief Geologist with Dalradian Resources Inc., are the Qualified Persons who reviewed andapproved the technical information in this presentation. The exploration data was based on the procedures described in the Company’s PEA and is subject to all of theassumptions, qualifications and procedures described therein.

CURRAGHINALT RESOURCE

Since 2010, we have grown the resource more than 6-fold over 4 updates

May 2016 resource update more than doubled M&I ounces in support of FS, with minimal loss of Inferred ounces

High-grade gold resource1

Measured: 0.03 MT grading 26.99 g/t Au for 25,000 contained ounces Indicated: 5.58 MT grading 11.53 g/t Au for 2.07 million contained ounces Inferred: 7.13 MT grading 10.06 g/t Au for 2.31 million contained ounces

Based on more than 130,000 m of drilling

Deposit is open in all directions

Orogenic deposit; analogous to prolific Abitibi (Canada) and Lachlan Gold Belt (Australia)

High grade, with grade increasing as confidence does

High ounces / tonnes per vertical metre

16 veins identified so far (5 new ones in 2016 resource)

Abundance, spacing and orientation of veins advantageousfor underground mining

Gold is non-refractory, amenable to off-the-shelf processing

Two vein types carry the gold: D veins (main) and C veins; only D veins included in resource

FS is looking at effect of C veins on mining dilution

FEASIBILITY STUDY

FS supported by UG program, including 950 m of new development with test stoping and 51,479 m of infill drilling (completed)

FS proceeding on the basis of:

Mining primarily by longhole but with additional methods as required to minimize dilution;

Processing incorporating a flotation circuit;

Dry stack tailings; and

~ 50% of waste rock to be returned underground as paste backfill
